INfRODUCTION. 


This  bibliography  of  Aaron  Burr  was  commenced  some 
years  ago  in  connection  with  that  of  Thomas  Jefferson.  It 
seemed  best,  however,  to  issue  the  Jefferson  separately, 
and  the  following  pages  are  now  printed,  believing  they 
will  be  found  of  value  for  historical  reference. 

The  arrangement  is  alphabetical  under  the  name  of  the 
author  when  known,  otherwise  under  the  first  word  of  the 
title,  omitting  particles. 

To  avoid  cross  references,  books  issued  anonymously,  or 
under  a  pseudonym,  and  placed  under  the  name  of  the 
real  author,  are  given  in  the  first  index  under  a  short  title. 

The  initials  following  some  of  the  titles  indicate  the 
public  libraries  where  the  books  may  be  found.

AN  EXCEEDINGLY  RARE  AUTOGRAPH 

Apparently  Theodosia  Burr's  Last  Letter  to  Her  Fiance 
Before  their  Marriage 

55.  BURR  (THEODOSIA,  daughter  of  Aaron  Burr,  wife  of  Gover- 
nor Alston  of  North  Carolina).  A.  L.  s.,  2  pp.,  4to.  January  13- 
4,  1801.  [To  Joseph  Alston.] 

Only  a  few  holograph  letters  by  Theodosia  Burr  are  known,  and  this 
is  of  special  interest  as  it  is  apparently  the  l.\st  letter  written  to  her 
FIANCE  BEFORE  THEIR  MARRIAGE.  It  was  thouglit  by  some  of  her  friends  that 
this  marriage  to  Joseph  Alston  was  a  political  move  on  the  part  of  Aaron 
Burr,  but  this  letter  seems  to  prove  otherwise.  The  marriage  took  place  on 
February  2,  1801,  and  it  is  probable  that  Mr.  Alston  was  already  on  his  way 
north  when  this  letter  was  written. 

"/  have  already  written  to  you  by  the  post  to  tell  yon  that  I  shall  be  happy  to 
see  you  whenever  you  come,  that  I  suppose  is  equivalent  to  very  soon ;  and 
that  you  may  no  longer  feel  doubts  or  suspicions  on  my  account  I  repeat  the

invitation  .  .  .  but  for  all  these  doubts  and  suspicions  I  will  take  ample 
revenge  zvhen  we  meet. 

"I  yesterday  received  your  letter  of  the  26th  Dec — &  am  expecting  your  de- 
fence of  early  marriages  to  day;  my  father  laughs  at  my  impatience  to  hear 
from  you,  and  says  I  am  in  love  .  .  . 

"We  leave  this  for  Albany  on  the  26th  Inst,  and  shall  remain  there  till  the 
loih  Feb'y — my  movements  after  that  depend  upon  my  father  &  YOU.  I  had 
intended  not  to  marry  this  tzvelve  month  &  in  that  case  thought  it  wrong  to 
divert  you  from  your  present  engagements  in  Carolina,  but  to  your  solicitations 
I  yield  my  judgment  .  .   ."

Wilkinson  says  in  his  advertisefuent  to  this  book  that  he  was  en- 
gaged in  writing  his  Memoirs,  and  "had  brought  them  down  to  the 
period  of  the  Convention  of  Saratoga,  when  he  discovered  it  was 
necessary  he  should  abandon  the  course  he  had  marked  out  for  him- 
self, to  meet  the  torrent  of  vilification  which  continued  to  bear  against 
him  and  prepare  to  combat  the  prejudices  of  the  House  of  Represen- 
tatives of  the  Eleventh  Congress." 

Wilkinson  had  been  accused  of  having  secured  money  from  the 
Spanish  government,  and  also  of  being  an  accomplice  of  Burr,  and 
his  conduct  had  been  investigated  by  Congress.  See  ante,  Nos.  27

cal writer  who  adhered  to  the  side  of  Burr,  and  with  Cheetham  and 
others,  was  engaged  in  the  "Pamphlet  War"  of  1802-3-4,  princi- 
pally in  regard  to  the  Suppressed  History  of  the  Administration  of 
John  Adams.  On  July  4tb,  1806,  Wood  issued,  at  Frankfort,  Ky., 
the  first  number  of  the  Western  World,  a  paper  originally  projected 
by  Joseph  H.  Daveiss,  and  in  1817  he  edited  a  paper  called  the  At- 
lantic World  in  Washington.  Besides  the  political  pamphlets  etc., 
mentioned  above,  Wood  published  in  1809  a  new  theory  of  the 
diurnal  motion  of  the  earth.  During  the  last  years  of  his  life  he 
lived  in  Richmond,  Va.,  and  died  in  May  1822.
